A bed that traverses countless worlds

Chapter 83 Perilous Encounter in the Ice Cave, Turning the Trap into an Opportunity

As Lin Yu and his group stepped into the ice cave, a bone-chilling cold instantly swept over them, as if even their breathing would be frozen.

The ice cave was dark and damp, with eerie blue light shimmering on the ice walls, like the eyes of some unknown creature, sending chills down one's spine.

"Damn it, this place is way too creepy!" a Norse warrior couldn't help but complain.

"Calm down, calm down, it's just basic stuff." Lin Yu lay on the bed, looking like he'd seen it all, but in his heart he was thinking: System, is this thing some kind of prehistoric monster's lair?

The eerie light on the ice wall flickered, and sinister howls echoed from the depths of the cave, like the whispers of evil spirits, sending chills down one's spine.

Everyone was on edge, taking each step cautiously, afraid of disturbing some terrifying being.

"Holy crap!" A cry of surprise broke the silence of the cave.

A Norse warrior's weapon has vanished into thin air!

"Where's my axe? Where's my precious axe?" He searched frantically, but found nothing.

Just then, a silvery laugh echoed through the cave.

"Hehehe... Silly, here it is!" A semi-transparent figure flickered between the ice walls; it was the mischievous ice sprite.

She held a Norse warrior's axe in her hand, as if showing off her spoils of war.

"Give me back my axe!" the Norse warrior roared, lunging at the ice sprite, only to miss.

The ice sprite was agile, like a wisp of smoke, moving back and forth in the cave, teasing everyone.

"This little rascal is a bit naughty!" Lin Yu lay on the bed, watching the scene with great interest.

The Norse warriors, having missed their targets time and again, became enraged and turned to question Lin Yu: "Didn't you say you could control everything? Is this what you call control?" "Hey, brother, don't get excited. I only said I could control my bed, not that I could control this little elf!" Lin Yu helplessly shrugged.

"What do we do now? We seem to be lost." Another Norse warrior pointed to the intricate network of paths ahead, his voice tinged with unease.

Lin Yu looked around and indeed, they seemed to have been completely fooled by the ice sprite and had lost their way.

“How about…we calm down first?” Lin Yu tentatively suggested. However, a Nordic warrior roared, “Calm down? How can we calm down? This godforsaken place…” Before he could finish, Kong Yang interrupted him, “Everyone…” Kong Yang took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions, and said, “Everyone, I know the situation is terrible, but we can’t lose our composure. What is our goal in coming here? Isn’t it the legendary Frostheart? If we give up now, wouldn’t all our previous efforts be wasted?” He looked around at everyone, his tone firm, “Think of our families, think of our friends, think of our shared dreams. We must unite to overcome the difficulties we face!”

Lin Yu lay on the bed and gave Kong Yang an appreciative look. This kid was quite reliable in a critical moment.

He cleared his throat and added, "This brother is right. I understand your anger and unease, but now is not the time for infighting. This little sprite may be mischievous, but it shouldn't mean any harm. Let's try to catch it first; perhaps that will lead us to a way out." Lin Yu's composure and understanding gradually calmed the Nordic warriors down.

They realized that infighting would only make things worse.

Lin Yu began to carefully observe the environment of the ice cave, the patterns on the ice walls, the locations where the ice sprites appeared, and the directions in which they disappeared...

He discovered that the Ice Sprite's movements seemed to follow a certain pattern; it always traveled along specific routes and preferred to stay in dimly lit places.

"I've got it!" A glint of light flashed in Lin Yu's eyes. He directed everyone to set traps in the places where the ice sprites often appeared, using some sparkly little things as bait.

Sure enough, the ice sprite took the bait!

Attracted by the glittering gadget, it plunged headfirst into the trap.

Lin Yu reacted quickly, immediately activating the control device on the bed, and an energy net instantly trapped the ice sprite.

"Done!" Lin Yu snapped his fingers triumphantly.

"Amazing, boss!" The Nordic warriors all gave Lin Yu a thumbs up, expressing their admiration for his wisdom.

The Nordic warrior who had previously questioned Lin Yu was now filled with shame. He walked to Lin Yu's bedside and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you before." Lin Yu smiled and said, "It's alright, it's good that you know your mistakes and can correct them. Now, it's time to ask this little guy where the exit is."

The ice sprite, having been captured, obediently pointed out the direction of the exit.

Following the path it indicated, the group finally emerged from the maze-like ice cave.

Just as everyone thought the crisis was over and was preparing to cheer and celebrate, Lin Yu's expression suddenly changed, "Wait..."

Before Lin Yu could finish speaking, a teeth-grinding scraping sound came from the depths of the ice cave, followed by a group of ice monsters exuding a chilling aura emerging from the darkness!

They were massive in size, with skin as hard as ice, shimmering with a chilling, eerie blue light.

"Holy crap! What is this thing?!" a Norse warrior exclaimed, instinctively swinging his weapon, but it was as if he had struck steel, leaving only a shallow white mark.

"These ice monsters are immune to normal attacks!" Lin Yu's expression turned serious as he quickly analyzed the current situation.

"Everyone, maintain formation, don't panic!" He commanded the Norse warriors from his bed. "You guys are responsible for drawing their attention, I'll find their weaknesses!"

Despite their fear, the Norse warriors obeyed Lin Yu's orders, forming a defensive formation to withstand the Ice Monster's fierce attacks.

Ice shards flew everywhere, the air was bitterly cold, and the battle was extremely fierce. The Nordic warriors were gradually becoming overwhelmed.

"No, boss, these guys are too tough, we can't hold out for long!" a Norse warrior shouted, panting.

Lin Yu frowned, his gaze sweeping over the trapped ice sprite, when a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.

He sensed a faint aura of darkness emanating from the ice sprite.

"Could it be..." Lin Yu's heart stirred, and he tried to use the power of the system to purify the dark aura on the ice elf's body.

As a warm light enveloped the ice sprite, its terrified eyes gradually cleared, and the dark aura around it dissipated.

"Thank you..." the ice sprite said in a clear voice, "I...I was controlled by the dark forces, so..." The ice sprite's words surprised everyone. It turned out that all of this was being manipulated by the dark forces behind the scenes!

"The Ice Monster's weakness...is in its chest, where there is a black ice crystal..." the Ice Elf said weakly, pointing to the Ice Monster's chest.

Having obtained this crucial information, Lin Yu immediately relayed the Ice Elf's words to the Norse warriors.

With a clear objective, the Norse warriors were greatly encouraged, and they concentrated their firepower on the black ice crystals on the Ice Demon's chest.

Sure enough, as soon as the black ice crystal shattered, the ice monster seemed to lose its support and instantly turned into ice shards, dissipating into the air.

With the crisis averted, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that this was only part of the dangers of the icy plains.

Lin Yu gazed into the depths of the ice cave, his eyes deep and thoughtful. "The Yeti tribe... and that dark wizard..."

He turned to the Norse warrior, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable firmness, "Let's go, we'll continue." With that, he maneuvered the bed, leading the way deeper into the ice cave…

Suddenly, the bed stopped.

"What's wrong?" Kong Yang asked.

Lin Yu didn't answer, but stared ahead and slowly said, "There's something..."
